Did I just build a simple model of a spaceship to try and learn UV Wrap in Blender? Did I make it way too detailed? Yes I did. Shall I practice on a simple cylinder first? Yes I shall.

Progress. Lot's still unfinished, plenty to fix, lots more to figure out.

When you're learning something new, it's sometimes the littlest things that can give you the greatest thrill.

Adding glowing lights to a spaceship model in Blender.

Just takes me back to the joy of the cool Space Lego kits that would sometimes come with lights.

Weird Field spaceship progress. I quite like the plastic look of the model without any texture added. Just makes me want to build a kit of it, or make it out of Lego.

@nyrath Thanks Winchell. When I was designing these ships, they very quickly went from a grungy mess of mechanical parts, to something odder, and less mechanical. I think being able to capture a bit of that in 3D is key.

Progress…

@RJB_Mallacore Cheers mate. Really happy to have finally got over the initial hurdle. I really can only do basic modelling, but repeat stuff, and have a good idea of what my ships should look like, and it seems to be a decent start.

The next thing I try and model in Blender, is going to be one of my Weird Field spaceships. Not sure which one yet. If you have a favourite, let me know.

I've started building a little toolkit of WF tech.

@hypolite I think it came in to use at ILM in the 70s. Might even have been George Lucas who coined it.

It's @nyrath 's fault I think about cooling fins.

@SkipHuffman @nyrath Dammit. Good point. There will be another ring of fins, so I'll adjust when I add those. Thanks.

@nyrath Cheers fella. That’s helpful.

A little maintenance unit. Got to open those pod bay doors some how.

That'll do for now.

Calling this done for the moment. I'll come back to it after I've done a bit more studying.

Pretty happy though, ten days ago I didn't know a single thing about Blender, or 3D in general.

@thisnorthernboy@mstdn.social avatar

@nyrath Cheers fella. I dread to think what a pro would think of my methods, but it’s been a lot of fun.

@thisnorthernboy@mstdn.social avatar

Going to try and model this in Blender next. Very much running before I can walk. But hey, it’ll be fun right? Right?

First cracking at making a spaceship in Blender. Really just playing around with the modelling side of things, while I get used to the controls and shortcuts etc.

If anyone is interested, and is a complete Blender newbie like me, this is the tutorial I'm doing, by Chris Plush on Udemy

https://udemy.com/course/blender-3d-for-complete-and-total-beginners/

It's really VERY good.
